Testament
Burnt Offerings

[Verse 1]
Summoned to the house of séance
To play the evil tarot cards
To find out what our fate will bring us
Before the war
Approaching now the hour of Tiamat
Evil feeling in the air
The chosen waits impatiently

[Chorus 1]
To find the rituals of power
Come out of the fire
Making the legacy known
Predicted by the past
Takes its toll at last
Not knowing when it strikes

[Verse 2]
The endless feuding shows its fate
The people are all shocked with fright
They know the end is coming near
It's time to fight
The revolution holds on strong
The armies have all met their match
Entire world up in arms
[Chorus 2]
Destruction sees the spirits of anger
Come up from the gallows
Conjured, my demons appear
Summoned to my cast, prey this deadly mass
Taken by the fire, you fall

[Verse 3]
The world became a vast wasteland
Survivors turned to cannibals
Killing everything in sight
Warfare tonight
The armies are all closing in
The population's getting small
The feelings are as cold as ice
Survival names its price

[Bridge]
Starting to burn
The rape and the violence grows high
A kingdom will rise
To rule with contempt
They will surprise
Kill and repent
The weakness in armies
Won't die!
Won't die!
Won't die!
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]
Leaving now the house of séance
Speculating destiny
Wonder if the cards were true
We'll wait to find out, and we'll wait to see!
